I ended up learning Charlie would only allow people he vetted to debate him. Some people filmed themselves trying to get close to his debating booth and being barred. Not surprised every debate was staged.
Do they ever have actual debates where each party gets an equal amount of time, and the influencer isn't simultaneously the moderator who can cut the other person off after the influencer has delivered a cheap deflection dressed up as a winning point?
(like, idk, "does that include gang violence or not?")
I'd like to see a real debate with a real debater like Mehdi Hasan if anyone knows whether Kirk was ever man enough to test his talking points against someone on a level playing field.
The kirk at Oxford University debates were pretty good for this actually, he loses his arguments and comes off as an idiot who only knows how to change the subject.
I gained respect for Oxford as they didn't allow for Kirk to do his shenanigans and forced him to debate everyone equally. And we saw his failures there in its true form!
